WindWorks! Northwest, a regional organization that advocates for wind power development, has released its short documentary film, ‘Chasing a Legacy: The Story of Wind Power in Kittitas County.’
The film features residents of rural Kittitas County, Wash., making the case for bringing wind farms to their community. The film tells the story of ranchers, small-business owners and local residents standing up to not-in-my-backyard opponents.
The 15-minute film is posted at wwnw.org.
A celebration of the film's release, hosted by law firms Gordon Thomas Honeywell and Perkins Coie, will be held in Seattle in July. The film's director, Sarah Koenigsberg, of Square Pixel Media, a graduate of Whitman College and resident of Walla Walla, Wash., will briefly share her experience producing the short film and living in an area increasingly popular as a location for wind energy.
